Wow, that's impressive. I am really missing the road but I am not balsy enough to ride at these temperatures or when the gravel gets put down for the snow. More power to you. I am hoping for some decent weather to get one more ride in before the snow and ice! Be safe bro!

I did our Chicagoland Toys For Tots Motorcycle Parade last Sunday (My ninth) and that is normally my last ride of the year barring any nice January/February warm ups that have been missing here in the Chicago area for the last couple of years despite the global warming cries. All I look for is dry roads and temps in the 40's to get the bikes out...........

It was pretty nice yesterday (or so I thought,) you know, sunny and 40 degrees F. That is warm for this time of year around here. Anyway, I thought I would make sure everything was ready for winter. So I got it started to go fill up the tank. Put on my gear, and headed out the driveway. Around the corner I go, only to see a big patch of ice that basically covered my side of the road. Somebody's sump pump drains right into the gutter and it froze up in the last couple of weeks. So I have to swerve to the other side of th eroad to miss that.
Get to the gas station and fill up. Get home, pour in some more SeaFoam. Pull the battery. Park in garage. Put cover on.

Two blocks, a bunch of ice, da** cold.

Done for the season...

Alway do what you said you would do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.

I keep it ready to go all winter cuz you never know when we'll get a nice sunny day in the 40s or even 50s. I rode a little 3 of the past 5 days, not too far or too fast, but ridin' all the same. It was low to mid-40s. Our Toys-for-Tots ride was on 12/3 and it was about 38, but some sun and dry. We had about 1000-1200 bikes. It has turned into a parade of sorts, a slow run for a couple of miles up our busiest main drag 4 bikes abreast with Wingers' ole ladies throwing candy to the kids...
